    Device: Zenith® Dissection Endovascular Graft

Interventions

  • DeviceZenith® Dissection Endovascular Graft

    Instead of making a large incision in the chest, the physician makes a small incision near each hip to insert, and guide the study device(s) into place in the aorta.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Patients With Major Complications

    Major complication is defined as: Retrograde dissection, cardiac events requiring surgical management, prolonged ventilation requiring tracheotomy, renal failure requiring dialysis (where not previously needed), aortic fistula, mesenteric ischemia requiring surgical management, paralysis or paraparesis unresolved after 30 days of therapy, pulmonary embolism, stroke, and multi-system organ failure, unless related to presenting condition.

    Time frame: 30 days
